Default What do you guys think of my new shortblock?

I just odered my forged 365ci from LME, and Iam getting Lunati's pro-mod rods. Anybody used them? I heard that Lunati's parts are okay, but they sometime they bend. Any other rods you guys suggest? Planning on something thats good up 1100 just to be safe.
this is what I got so far:

LS2 block, timing set, timing cover,valley cover, lifter trays, GM
nodular iron 3.622" stroke, Lunati 6.125" Pro Mod rods w/ ARP
2000 7/16" bolts, Wiseco custom forged turbo pistons, NPR
stainless chrome rings 1.2 1.2 3mm, Federal Mogal 152M mains,
Clevite cb663 H rods, Dura Bond cam brgs, ARP main studs

any feedback would be helpful
